XPLOPLO · Children’s discovery museum

A place built for questions.

Our self-operated museum in Rizhao gives children and families room to explore science through play, making and shared discovery—and gives DeepBlue a real place to keep learning from the visitor experience.

A real place to explore

The museum is the proof.

Designed for children aged 3–14 and their families, XPLOPLO brings physical play, science exhibits, guided activities and everyday operation together under one roof. The questions that arise in a real visit help us think beyond opening day.

Three floors of discovery

Different ways to ask why.

Water-play and interactive exhibits on XPLOPLO’s first exhibition floor
Water and shared discovery
01 / GROUND FLOOR

Move, play, connect.

Climbing, water play, shared challenges and a science theatre invite children to discover with their bodies and with one another.

Interactive science exhibits on XPLOPLO’s second exhibition floor
Science through experiment
02 / SECOND FLOOR

Test the world.

Hands-on encounters with air, motion and energy turn scientific ideas into things children can see, change and try again.

Architecture and engineering play area on XPLOPLO’s third exhibition floor
Building and making
03 / THIRD FLOOR

Make and imagine.

Building activities, tools and role-play connect engineering curiosity with creativity, cooperation and empathy.

Beyond the exhibit

The experience keeps evolving.

Facilitated questions, themed visits and STEAM activities give each exhibit another life. In day-to-day operation, the team can observe how families use the space and refine activities and content over time.

Smart venue

Where useful, digital tools can support smoother operations and exhibit upkeep behind the scenes—without taking attention away from children’s exploration.
